ed note–another eye-opener that every war-weary Gentile with a vested interest in his/her own future survival needs to read, understand, and take deeply to heart.
Firsto, ladies and Gentile-men, there should be no doubt that even though the Jews are consummate liars, nevertheless, the basic building blocks of this story are doubtless accurate and true.
Now, the reason this is important to keep in mind is as follows, ladies and Gentile-men–
If the Jews were able to maintain a 20-year intelligence gathering mission on the constant whereabouts of Khamenei, and all of this taking place within a TIGHTLY CLOSED country such as Iran, what are they able to do in those countries where they are welcomed with open arms?
Do they maintain the same kind of intel gathering on this guy?
In the immortal words of former VP candidate Sarah Palin,
‘you betcha’…
Or this guy?
…Dittoes
Or this guy?
…Without a doubt…
Or any other leader of consequence anywhere in the world?
Fill in the blank…
Which goes a long way in explaining why powerful leaders, including the POTUS, must ‘tread lightly’ when dealing with these diabolical psychopaths calling themselves the ‘Children of Israel’, because unlike the image of the ‘religious terrorist’ now permanently tattooed on the collective brain of the West featuring a swarthy ‘insurrectionist’ sporting a suicide vest who shouts ‘Allahu akhbar’, the Judaic version of the religious terrorist is much more sophisticated and deadly.
The Wall Street Journal
Iran’s leadership didn’t see the morning strike coming.
On Saturday morning, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—who typically went down into his bunkers at night when the regime believed Israeli attacks were likely to take place—was above ground at his residence.
The unexpected daylight attack, ‘Operation Genesis’, killed Khamenei and was the opening blow in the war by Israel and the U.S. against Iran.
The Wall Street Journal reconstructed the operation through interviews with current and former Israeli and U.S. officials, as well as satellite imagery, videos, and photos.
7:30 am–Takeoff
Israeli F-15 jets and other aircraft took off at around 7:30 a.m. Iran time to attack their country’s most carefully studied target. Khamenei had been in their sights before—but this time, they had the go-ahead to kill him.
For more than two decades, Unit 8200, a covert Israeli intelligence unit that specializes in phone intercepts and cyber operations, tracked Khamenei and Iran’s top leadership, mapping their daily routines and habits. Analysts monitored senior officials’ communications, increasingly relying on artificial intelligence to sift through a massive volume of intercepted calls.
Israel recruited spies and hacked into traffic cameras across the Iranian capital for real-time information, according to a person familiar with the matter.
On Saturday, they learned of meetings among senior leaders and that Khamenei would be at his residence that morning with members of his family, according to people familiar with the operation and an Israeli security official.
To maintain the element of surprise, they would have to kill Khamenei with the first shots of the war, even before they disabled Iranian air defenses. If he escaped the attack, Israel feared he would be moved to a secure location beyond reach.
9:40 a.m. Strikes
At about 9:40 a.m., dozens of Israeli munitions fired from F-15 jet fighters, including Blue Sparrow missiles, began hitting their targets. The missiles were launched from a distance: Sparrows exit the earth’s atmosphere before crashing down. Their high trajectory surprised people in the Iranian leadership compound in Tehran, people briefed on the operation said.
The precision air-to-surface missiles successfully struck multiple high-level gatherings in the compound.
At around 9:45 a.m. local time, people across Tehran were watching smoke billow from the leader’s compound.
The Journal geolocated a dozen videos—posted on social media—from around the city in the immediate aftermath of the strike.
After the killing of Khamenei, both the U.S. and Israel began attacking Iran’s air defenses and other military infrastructure. The U.S. Navy launched Tomahawk cruise missiles and HIMARS rockets, conducting strikes across southern Iran and taking out Iranian Navy ships—hitting more than 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours.
Israel sent in 200 jet fighters, nearly the country’s entire air force. They soon struck 500 different targets, including radar and detection arrays, air-defense batteries, command centers, surface-to-surface missile systems and leadership.
5:47 pm… The Aftermath
At 5:47 p.m., a satellite image captured smoldering damage at the compound, which includes a vast mosque, a presidential complex and the Iranian leader’s residence.
The strike damaged at least six buildings, including metal roofs and structures running between buildings, according to satellite images analyzed by the Journal.
Khamenei was above ground at his residence with his family during the strikes. Satellite imagery shows that area sustained the most visible damage.
The strikes also killed top officials—including Khamenei adviser Ali Shamkhani, Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh, Deputy Intelligence Minister Sayed Yahya Hamidi, head of espionage Jalal Pour Hossein and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Mohammad Pakpour, according to an Israeli security official.
By nightfall, videos showed public gatherings across Tehran, Karaj and Isfahan, where thousands of Iranians either celebrated or mourned Khamenei’s killing.
Top Iranian officials—President Masoud Pezeshkian, judiciary chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i and an appointee from Iran’s 12-member Guardian Council—formed a temporary three-person council to govern the country.
